About Me

Aaron Studer

The field of information technology is known for its dynamic nature, presenting thrilling opportunities. My current part-time position at Swisscom has enabled me to work with emerging technologies and establish a strong foundation for my future. As I aspire to become a data science expert, I have enrolled in a Bachelor of Applied Science in Data Science program at FHNW in Switzerland.


Graduation from this program will bring me closer to my ultimate objective of working as a consultant with a specialization in machine learning. In my leisure time, I invest in self-education through books and online courses to expand my knowledge and enhance my abilities.


Recognizing the importance of maintaining a balance between work and personal life, I devote my remaining free time to activities such as bouldering, spikeball, handball and the management of some events in my handball club.
